CEVAP:

The Etruscans were a people with probable origins in Anatolia, in Asia, perhaps migrating west at the end of the Hittite empire, but of whom little is known to this day. Their language was derived from Greek and remains untranslated, and much about them remains covered in mystery. They dominated wide swaths of Italy between the eight and the fifth centuries before Christ and spurred on great growth, only to be defeated by the Greeks at sea and because of attacks over land from the region that is now France.
